Pioneer's AVIC-X940BT navigation receiver combines outstanding navigation capabilities, Bluetooth® connectivity, and some serious app compatibility — all controlled from a sharp 6.1" touchscreen that makes accessing all this functionality a piece of cake.

Navigate the roads and social media with ease

Pioneer's AVIC-X940BT navigation receiver combines outstanding navigation capabilities, Bluetooth® connectivity, and some serious app compatibility — all controlled from a sharp 6.1" touchscreen that makes accessing all this functionality a piece of cake.

Aha Radio keeps you up to speed

The AVIC-X940BT's app compatibility starts with Aha Radio. If you've experienced Aha Radio, then you know that this cool app delivers a wide variety of personalized, on-demand content while you're behind the wheel. With either your iPhone® or Android, you can enjoy content like audio streams from your Facebook and Twitter accounts, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road to check out your screen.

Aha Radio also lets you search reviews with their "Hungry" and "Coffee" stations. And it lets you tap into traffic info for first-hand reports of road conditions in your vicinity. In addition, Aha Radio offers news updates, podcasts, and even comedy — there's always something entertaining on hand.

Wide-ranging navigation and traffic capabilities

Detailed Tele Atlas® maps of Canada, Puerto Rico, and the entire U.S.A. feature over 12 million points of interest to guide you to the services you want when you're on the road. It's aggravating and dangerous to get stuck in the wrong lane at a busy intersection or interchange. Pioneer's Lane Guidance feature helps by directing you to the correct lane for upcoming turns. And Pioneer's AVIC FEEDS add a whole new level of fun and functionality, giving you the ability to transfer destinations from Google Maps, download points-of-interest from the Internet, and more.

Pandora® Internet radio control

You can enjoy your favorite Pandora® stations when you're on the road. Connect your iPhone with Pioneer's CD-IU51V cable, or pair your Android through Bluetooth and take charge from the receiver's touchscreen. You'll see album art, plus song and artist info on the screen, including control of those important "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" song ratings.

Advanced App Mode and more A/V options

Pioneer's Advanced App Mode lets you view and control compatible iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S applications from the receiver's touchscreen display. You can watch YouTube, Netflix, and other online video content when you're parked, or send it to backseat monitors while you're driving. You can play video content from DVDs and other sources, too. And there are plenty of audio options. The receiver plays your CDs and DVDs, including discs loaded with music files. Listening to your iPod® or iPhone is as easy as plugging in to the rear USB port, while a rear A/V input offers is ready for other sources.

Pioneer's innovative AppRadioLIVE streamlines your app info and functions into one easy-to-use interface. You'll enjoy quick access to your music, media, calendar, and other sources you subscribe to, just by downloading the AppRadioLIVE app and syncing your services. AppRadioLIVE works with your apps to provide visual map guidance and access to points of interest, as well as the ability to search for concerts, shows, and other local events of interest. And you can show several sources of information simultaneously, quickly shifting from one to another with a touch of your finger.

Hands-free phoning and audio streaming

The AVIC-X940BT's built-in Bluetooth lets you make hands-free calls easily with your compatible phone, and keep your attention on the road. The built-in Bluetooth also supports audio music streaming (A2DP) so you can stream music wirelessly from compatible mobile devices to the receiver.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.

Very disappointed

We purchased this receiver to upgrade our 2003 Tahoe's factory stereo to prepare for a long trip to Utah for spring break. We already had an aftermarket LCD panel in the backseat for the kids and this had all the bells and whistles we needed.. The GPS was just a bonus. Installation was fairly easy and the guides were helpful - some minor translation issues in wire names but was easy to sort out.
Operating the unit proved to be a different story. It's hard to understand how CE manufacturers still fumble horribly with user interfaces, as Pioneer has done with this device. The selector bar for choosing AV sources is small and difficult to operate. When you want to scroll you often select a source. Playing DVDs on the rear screen takes a large number of clicks, which is often unsafe while driving. The radio pre-set selector is completely unintuitive. If you plug in an iPhone if only to charge it, it automatically switches over to the iPhone as a music source no matter what you're doing. And you can't use IOS 6 at all. And the warning to 'not watch video in the front seat' is annoying, even though it's impossible to actually do that while the car is in motion.
It also turns out we couldn't count on the GPS at all - we had to resort to our smartphones for the entire trip. It never came close to plotting and accurate route and was essentially unusable. Not to mention the UI feels like it's from a first generation GPS.
Net is I'm returning the receiver.

Pros:Lots of features, including two zone DVD, GPS, microSD, bluetooth
iPhone support

Cons:Poor user interface & user experience
GPS innacurate

Pioneer has done it again!

Put this in a 2008 Mazdaspeed3 GT. Looks good and looks great! Navi is pretty much spot on even without the speedsensor hooked up. DVD's are nice and clean, touchscreen is good, you barely have to touch it for it to do its thing. Big difference in sound from stock.

Pros:Light up colors match interior, Easy to use, Able to upload your own start up screen

Cons:none that i know of yet.

Pioneer Nav Replacement

Bought this unit to replace a prior Pioneer Nav model. I was able to swap the units myself, as the connections already wired for the original unit wre compatible. This unit has worked well so far. It has a quicker booting time and faster response than the older unit.

Pros:Good features, faster processor, sound quality, a good value for the features you get

Cons:Touch screen ca take some getting use to, it tends to be a little too sensitive. Volume knob ie very small.

Good start, but no beans!

Most likely you will be purchasing this unit for the built in GPS, or you would have chosen one without. The GPS is the very short coming of this unit; period! The maps leave a lot to be desired. The unit is very slow to update, it lags behind in vehicle icon status, when you change routes it takes about 30 seconds to reroute leaving you with much less options to choose from in congested area. Maps and roads are VERY incomplete!!! It will map you backwards a few miles to get back on the route it chose for you (even changing options of fast, shortest, main roads, highways, ect.) originally. If you deviate and don't go back the way it wants, it will tell you no information is available about current route and leaves you to find your own way. I have had 3 portable GPS that for different vehicles and 2 are over 10 years old. We travel a lot, we travel to areas that are barely on maps and the other GPS all of which are portable; two Garmins and one Magellan. They have no problem updating, finding routes quickly, getting us where we are heading with10 year old maps on board. None have told me, no information is available for my request or position like the Pioneer AVIC-X940BT has. This is just heading home taking alternate routes in my town! Pioneer said it must be the unit. I have had 2 of them and both act exactly the same. It connects to 11 satellite with strong signals so that isn't the problem. Other: access is not organized well. Setting spread out over different areas.

Pros:Nice looks. Sounds good after using mic (purchased separately) setting up audio EQ settings. Plays DVD's well, has lots of different Bluetooth radio apps you can use.
I would love for this unit to perform great and would love to keep it, but it MUST go back for the second time and will choose a different brand or get GPS separately with different head unit.
Not sure how this unit got twelve 5's and 4's, when at the very most is a 3. Two stars is about right
Hope Pioneer gets with the program

Cons:Very poor GPS! Hooking up more than one Bluetooth will not automatically connect; you have to go through settings, bluetooth, choose device, to get it to sync up. Settings are not organized very well and manual is like 200+ pages of online mess.

Good unit for the price, but has flaws

Works well and installed easily, phone pairing was seamless, iPod and Sirius/XM integration works great. GUI and user interface is a weak point. My biggest issue is scrolling/swiping sensitivity when navigating playlists and menus - I find it a very fine line between scrolling and 'touching', after two weeks I'm still struggling with it. And the Navteq system leaves very much to be desired, my Garmin beats it in every way. I often find it places me on side streets that are 50' or so from where I actually am.

Pros:Works well and strong online community for help and programming advice

Cons:User interface/GUI is clunky and not very intuitive; nav is not 100% accurate even with updated maps; scrolling and swiping interface is awkward.

A Solid Unit

I will say that I did a lot of research before purchasing this unit. I looked at JVC, Pioneer, Kenwood, and Alpine and found every review I could read as well as going to a couple of electronic stores and putting my hands on them. By far for the price the Pioneer AVIC-X940BT is the best for the money. The price Crutchfield currently has on it coupled with a coupon code I found made it a no brainer.
GPS The GPS is solid, but not perfect. When you are going down the road it seems to show random side street names as part of a map filler instead of showing them all (which I would imagine could get rather cluttered on the screen if it showed everything) and even though I have the latest maps they were missing a bridge that was built over a year ago so they need some updating. However overall functionally works well.
Radio/DVD No it does not have built in HD radio, but I bought it for the XM compatibility when it came to listening to music. The GEX-920XM synced up immediately and you have 18 presets (in 3 increments of 6 XM1, XM2, and XM3) as well as 18 FM stations in the same format you can program. It downloads the icon for each station and occasionally it loses the icon but the preset and name is still there and it comes back as you cycle through the stations. The DVD player also functions well, definitely no complaints.
Bluetooth The streaming audio and phone capabilities work fantastic. Phone syncs easy, you have access to your contacts and calls sound great.

Pros:For the price you really cannot beat this unit. It works very well, the XM integration, Bluetooth, are fantastic and the Navigation will get you where you need to go.

Cons:The only reason I do not give it a perfect score are for two reasons. The first I mentioned before about the maps not being quite as up to date as they need to be, yes I know this a Navteq issue, but still Pioneer should offer more frequent updates. The second comes when scrolling through audio inputs and station presets. It is a fine line between scrolling and pressing too hard and selecting them. Fortunately you can just view all presets (6 at a time) on one screen and select from the list

Very disappointed

i'm very disappointed with this unit. I purchased for my girlfriend's birthday to install in her 2008 outlook. I have a factory installed nav unit in my 2011 sonata and love it. I did some research on the Crutchfield site to compare the different brands and models, and thought this unit was the best value. I expected a lot more for the price, and i'm embarrassed that this unit was not even close to as nice as my factory installed unit that we were both used to.

Cons:user interface is not intuitive..nav is very clumsy.. I have to google a POI on my phone and then type in the address.. safety feature requires vehicle to be stopped and in park in order to input any nav info..address, reroutes, waypoints, etc.. apps did not behave as advertised on samsung galaxy s2 (android)

Could be awesome...

ScottB from Pasadena, CA on 12/30/2012

The interface is finicky. Sometimes it's hard to get it to cooperate and select what you want. It's not like an iPhone or iPad and doesn't take advantage of the screen, IMHO. Pioneer should really do an update to the software here. So much of the screen is unused and that's a waste as well as difficult to use when you're on the road. The GPS works really well. The entire interface though is ,ore difficult than any Garmin I've used. After a few weeks, I've gotten used to it but that's inverse logic Pioneer. I'm a techy by nature and career. The AVIC-X940BT could be made 100% better with some GUI tweaks. I don't know if responsiveness could be improved or not - that might be the screen/hardware's limitations. All in all, I'm very happy. I got the iPod (iPhone) cable and steering wheel adapter to maintain controls. The DVD makes my granddaughter extremely happy, and only suffers in bright daylight. The sound makes movies a real immersive experience. App Radio is great, but I just got a new iPhone 5 so that's out the window. Very bummed about that, but it appears to be APPLE that nuked video out, not Pioneer. I'm using my old iPhone 4 as a workaround and BT from the iPhone 5 for audio. The hands-free phone works great with both iPhone 4&5. My son's Samsung Galaxy Note also streams audio well, but can be finicky to connect via Bluetooth. What we have is an excellent mid-range HU. Pioneer could make it awesome with some tweaks - hoping they do this but somehow doubt it.

Pros:Very good display.
Very good sound.
Plays well with iOS devices.
GPS works really well - maps appear accurate thus far.
Hands-free phone and mic work well.
Lots of features.

Cons:GUI needs improvement.
Not intuitive and takes time to master.
No video for iPhone 5 (again, looks like Apple's fault)
Finicky touch screen controls.
Getting the Bluetooth device you want functioning can be a challenge, but once connected works very well.

Great product

Good product that's compatible with my Android. Love the touch screen, simplicity of operation, and its ability to expand. The only thing is you should purchase the CD-IU51V cable that hooks up with your ipod.

Pros:CD/ipod/Internet/DVD player all in one

Cons:IU51V Cable not included

Everything you need

Fairly easy install in my 06 F-150 King Ranch. You should have a Dremmel or equivalent to modify the dual-din mount (trim the extra tabs). This Pioneer interfaces (Aha, App Radio, etc.) with my iPhone 5 when tethered via the Pioneer iPod cable plugged into the iPhone 5 Lightning connector.

Pros:I like how the unit works (outputs sound and/or backup camera) even while the unit is starting-up.

OBSOLETE JUNK!

One week into owning this radio and it is now obsolete. they sent an email coldly stating that the lie they have been telling about it working with iPhones, was just that. A LIE. Don't waste your money on this obsolete junk.

Pros:could have been cool if it would work as advertised, but... incompatible with the new iPhone

Cons:obsolete junk

top of the line

Installed myself in e-250 service van.Master sheet and tech support very helpfull and saved me $425.Chose the free back up camera and has been flawless now 10 weeks.Real asset when pulliing trailer or backing out driveways.GPS has never failed to get me to my housecalls.Only minor issue is it doesn't store the street number that i enter when arriving but no biggy.sirius radio works well.Played one movie and ok.Main reasons for buying were gps,sat. radio, and bluetooth which aiso has worked well.Windows up and ac on iow it works best no background noise. The locked out GPS and movie play while in motion does not bother me. I like the detachable push buttons that easily fit in your pocket to deter theft. Crutchfield also good to deal with would buy from them again.

Pros:Everything

Cons:Nothing

Great Value and Fast.

While researching this purchase, I was worried about the boot up time making me wait for the backup camera I also installed. I can assure you it is nothing to worry about. The rear camera is available well before the full boot and is a non-issue. This unit is fast, sounds great and is a great value.

Pros:Fast, great value.

Cons:Nothing worth mentioning.

Great system. Some User Interace annoyance

Ken B from Silicon Valley, CA on 9/1/2012

Beautiful sound. Maps and navigation are fine. You'll have to buy a traffic tuner to get traffic information. The volume button is great. I have the installer bypass the locking of video, navigation direction , so the Pioneer is usable. Else you can not see the video or enter navigation data if the car is moving. I would not buy the unit if it's could not be bypassed. Still, the map/navigation screen always shows a disclaimer upon start-up, and you have to touch a screen button to get rid of it. Called and complained to Pioneer, but they don't care ... Have bluetooth for handfree converstion using Android phones. Also playing phone's music to unit. The User Interface graphics is clean and elegant, not cheap or cheesy lookings.

Pros:Good over all, nice bright responsive touch screen, great sound.

Cons:Annoying disclaimer map/nav screen showing up everytime you start the car. For this, I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

Perfect For Iphone

Great system, sounds perfect, looks great, and is packed with features!

Pros:Does everything that you would expect from a multimedia platform... Integrates perfect with the iPhone. Able to stream video from any iPhone source including Netflix and YouTube. Everything is fast: you can change screens, sources, and feeds without having to wait due to poor loading times!

Cons:Faceplate buttons feel flimsy and don't seem to have a good response. Wish you could customize the background image or there was visual graphics available like on most single din Pioneer Decks. App Radio has alot of room for growth.

Good All Around Unit.. Nav could be better

QinSD from San Diego on 6/27/2012

This is a good unit for the price. I think the Kenwood units are a bit better, but a comparable Kenwood looks to cost 150 more. This unit has multiple AV sources that you can play music from. This is where the unit stands out. I have owned Kenwood units before and this one manages the different sources in a much more efficient manner. It can play from USB Drive, MicroSD, BT Audio, Pandora, and Aha Radio. What's nice about this unit is Pandora and Aha radio can be controlled with an Android phone via bluetooth. The interface is fairly simple and easy to use. It is also pretty responsive. When you touch a button, the action happen. There is no real noticeable lag. It accesses songs on the SD card or from ipod very quickly. It doesnt take a long time to search through the sd card like many head units do. The Pandora interfacing works very well. It's just like using it on your phone or ipod. It can play videos (avi, mp4,divx) from the SD Card or USB drive.
The GPS functionality is just OK. As mentioned before, Ive had Kenwood units with Garmin Nav before and I must admit those are better. The Pioneer will still get you to your location, but it lacks certain features. For example, it *DOES NOT* speak the name of streets and the map is less detailed when you're just driving around. Basically Garmin is much more detailed.

Pros:Lower Price, Quick Interface, Handles media from all sources very well, Easy to Install, Good Display

Cons:Navigation is not very detailed compared to Kenwood units that use Garmin Maps

Android Compatible!

Mike Ed from San Luis Obispo, California on 6/10/2012

I have waited a long time to upgrade my head unit because I did not want to purchase a unit that was not compatible with my android phone. (I have a Motorola Razor). Pioneer has satisfied my needs with the AVIC X940BT. The auto-connect works well and allows full functionality for making/receiving calls, enjoying Pandora and Aha radio with full display features on the monitor. Downloading the phone book was a breeze and names of callers are displayed on the screen. I have the Sirius Sportster 5 connected via the Sirius car dock and am impressed at how well the units work together. Saving presets, scanning genres, and even setting sports alerts (a Sportster feature) through the X940 is easy. Of course the iPod works well also with all graphics and controls via the head unit. The coolness factor of this unit in your dash will not disappoint! I especially like having a volume knob (as opposed to some units that are entirely touch screen. This prevents me from accidentally changing stations or enabling another feature while driving and trying to change the volume. I will be adding amplifiers (and component speakers) soon and the built in cross-overs/filters for the sub-woofer and front/rear pre-outs will simplify the installation and not require me to purchase additional crossovers (although my amps have built in crossovers and filters). If you are an Android owner you will not be sorry in purchasing this unit. Installed in '07 Mustang GT soon to buy another for my 02 F250.

Pros:Outstanding Bluetooth connectivity. Did I mention Android compatible? Back up camera ready. Built in equalizer is great! Playing a DVD is as easy as inserting the disc.

Cons:The navigation is lacking. It is not as user friendly as my Garmin and the calculations are not precise. Navigation calibration can be slow and incorrect. This unit has shown me to be driving on parallel streets before realizing my actual location.

Solid overall

Dan from Milton, FL on 4/8/2012

Overall this is a solid unit. I had a Kenwood DNX series prior to this so that is what I compare it to. The Kenwood GPS was much better as far as accuracy is concerned. It took for ever for it to recognize I was in Florida and not in Cali. Then once it did finally figure it out (5mins into a drive) it had me on parallel streets. This is correctable by going into the settings and placing yourself on the right street but that is unacceptable to me. The interface with pioneer and iPhone integration is much better on the pioneer in my eyes. So if you are undecided on what you want. GPS, go Kenwood. iPhone integration, go Pioneer. Advanced app mode is pretty neat and I heavily debated on units that relied solely on your mobile phone but many of the reviews I read said those units were still pretty buggy. The pioneer unit can easily be bi-passed if that is a concern. Just move the mute wire up one pin and tie it in with the ground and parking wire, then connect to ground on the car's harness. Advanced app mode is def pretty cool. You can watch netflix, listen to pandora, and it gives you the ability to use Motion X for GPS. It is a bit more reliable. Which is disappointing because your unit should be better. That is my main gripe with the unit and the reason for 4 stars. Movies work great and are clear. OOOOO yeah, I personally feel like the Pioneer sounds better and is more powerful. That is hard for me to admit because I am a pretty big Kenwood fan. Bluetooth works fine so far.

Product Research

Touchscreen Display

6.1" TFT LCD Touchscreen
Color Display: The
AVIC-X940BT features a 6.1" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 widescreen
touchscreen display. The resolution of the
display is 800 x 480, for a total of 384,000 pixels. The touchscreen display
provides navigation functions and allows
you to control this unit and a paired Bluetooth device, or a connected component such as an iPod/iPhone,
Satellite radio receiver, HD Radio tuner, or USB/microSD memory. Menus appear on
screen for making function choices, audio adjustments, and setting up the
system. The unit has a front-loading disc-slot to make loading your disc easier,
because there is no panel to slide or fold-down.

Start Up Time: The Pioneer AVIC-X940BT has a start up time
of approximately 17.2 seconds from Off to the "Caution" screen. Once the
"Caution" screen appears, you can tap the "OK" button on the head unit's
touchscreen to go instantly to the Navigation screen or press the "Mode"
hard-key to access the Source menu.

Widescreen Modes: You can
choose from the following widescreen modes when playing back video:

Full: A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction only, enabling you to
enjoy a 4:3 picture without any omissions.

Just: The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and the amount of enlargement
increases horizontally toward the ends of the picture.

Zoom: A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and
horizontally; ideal for a 16:9 screen.

Cinema: A picture is enlarged by the same proportion as Full or Zoom in the
horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion between Full and Zoom
in the vertical direction.

Normal: A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is.

Splash Screen: You can change the splash screen of the head unit
to one of six pre-installed images (Black, Curves Light Blue, IC Gold, Ripple Blue, or
Spotlight Green). You can also change the splash screen to custom images stored
on an inserted microSD memory card. These custom images must be JPEG or BMP
files (2592 x 1944 or smaller).

Shortcut Menu: You can register your favorite menu items in
the head unit's Shortcut Menu so you can quickly jump to your favorite menu
items. Up to 15 menu items can be registered.

Front-Panel Controls With Adjustable Illumination: In
addition to the touchscreen controls, the unit includes frequently used buttons
along the left edge of the screen. The color of the button illumination can be
set to white, green, blue, purple, yellow, orange, red or scan (constantly
cycling through the color spectrum). You can also create a custom color using
the unit's three primary colors (red, green, blue) and a 0 to 31 color-level
adjustment.

Anti-Theft Security: A section of the unit's control-panel
detaches to deter theft (no carrying case is supplied). You can also set a
password for the Pioneer AVIC-X940BT to deter theft. If the back-up lead is cut
after the password is set, the navigation system prompts for the password at the
time of next boot up.

Dimmer: To prevent the display from being too bright at night, the
display is automatically dimmed when the car's headlights are turned on. You can
turn the dimmer on or off. The automatic dimmer function only works when the
orange/white illumination wire in the wiring harness is connected to the
vehicle's headlight circuit.

Parking Brake Interlock: This unit has a parking brake
interlock system that prohibits viewing of video programming and operating
certain controls when the vehicle is in motion. In order to watch video on the
in-dash monitor, the vehicle must be parked with the parking brake engaged. Many
of the head unit's menu functions will also be disabled; such as Navigation,
System, Map, and Bluetooth settings. The
head unit's light green wire must be connected to your vehicle's parking brake
detection circuit. The head unit's touchscreen will display
"Attention! Viewing of front seat video source while driving is strictly
prohibited", if you try to watch a video when your vehicle is in motion.

2-DIN Chassis: The Pioneer AVIC-X940BT has a 2-DIN chassis
(also known as "Double DIN" or size DD), and will fit in many vehicles with a
large dash opening. The unit can be ISO-mounted using factory brackets. There is
also an optional double-DIN sleeve (130ADTV133,
sold separately) available for this unit that will allow you to Euro-mount or
custom mount the Pioneer head unit in your vehicle. As always, please consult Crutchfield's
Outfit My Car to verify fit with your vehicle.

Onboard Navigation

Built-in Navigation (from NAVTEQ): The Pioneer AVIC-X940BT offers a
comprehensive map database from NAVTEQ stored on its built-in 4GB flash-memory.
The pre-loaded map database covers the entire United States (including Alaska &
Hawaii), Canada, and Puerto Rico enabling users to route to millions of
destinations including more than 12 million points of interest (POIs).

Note: Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While
this database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its
release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is
maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may
change over time.

Map Updates: Map updates via a microSD memory card can be
purchased at
Pioneer's online store. Pioneer will release one update per year.

GPS Technology: The AVIC-X940BT accurately measures your
current location by the Global Positioning System, a network of satellites
orbiting the earth to give you time and position information. The accuracy of
the GPS information depends upon how good the reception is. The unit has a
32-channel GPS receiver with a magnetic antenna included. The AVIC-X940BT also
features a speed sensing cable for better accuracy of your vehicle's movement.

Note: The car speed signal cable (Pink) should always be
connected to your vehicle's speed detection circuit. Failure to make this
connection will increase errors in the vehicle's location display.

On-Screen Map: As you travel, the AVIC-X940BT guides you to
your destination with voice prompts, arrows on the map, and directions at the
top of the map. At the bottom of the screen is your current street, while the
top of the screen shows your next street; the upper-left corner indicates the
distance to your next maneuver. A magnified view of the map can be displayed
when approaching your next turn. If you depart from the original route, the
navigation system recalculates the route and provides new directions. Your route
is marked with a green line, while your vehicle is marked by a red arrow on the
screen, and checkered flag marks your destination. You can adjust the following
map settings.

View Modes: Various
types of screen displays can be select for navigation guidance; 2D View
(displays a normal two-dimensional map with North or your direction at the
top of map screen), 3D View (displays three-dimensional map with your
direction at the top of the map screen), Street View (information on the
next 4 guidance points closest to your current location appear in order from
top to bottom on the left side of the map screen), Rear View (displays the
rear view image on the left side of the map screen), or Eco Graph (displays
a graph for eco-driving on the left side of the map screen).

Day/Night Modes: You can also select between brightness modes;
Day (for a bright background), Night (for a black background) or Auto (to
automatically switch between the two).

Voice Guidance/Text to Speech: In addition to graphical
on-screen directions and maps, the AVIC-X940BT provides voice guidance and
turn-by-turn directions. You can choose a male or female voice in English,
French, or Spanish. Some of the voices are capable of text-to-speech, announcing

Route Calculation: The AVIC-X940BT calculates the route
based on your preferences. You can have the navigation system calculate your
route based on the following selections.

Route Method: You can choose from 2 different route
methods (Fastest Time or Shortest Distance)

Road Types: To let the route fit your needs, you can
also set which road types (Main Road, Ferry, Freeway, Toll Road) are to be
considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.

Time Restrictions: This setting control whether streets
or bridges that have traffic restrictions during a certain time should be
taken into account.

Learning Route: The system learns the travel history of
your vehicle for each road. You can choose whether or not this travel
history should be taken into account.

Current Itinerary: The Current Itinerary is a detailed list
of the route events or driving instructions.

Waypoints: During an active route, you can insert additional
waypoints (intermediate destinations) preceding the destination. You can insert
up to 5 waypoints. Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated
automatically and you can start navigating right away.

Travel History: The Track Logger feature enables you to
record your driving (travel) history to the unit's built-in flash memory or an
inserted microSD card.

Intelligent Reroute: If you deviate from the set route, the
system will recalculate the route from that point so that you remain on track to
your destination.

Route Simulation: A simulation drives you through the route,
following the driving instructions.

Eco-Driving Function: This navigation system is equipped
with an Eco-driving function that can be used to estimate whether you are
driving in an environmentally friendly way.

Echo Graph: This function estimates approximate fuel
mileage based on your driving, compares that with your average fuel mileage
in the past, and displays the results in a graph. The ECO Graph feature
provides a view in addition to 2D and 3D, which divides the map view screen
with a new graph to provide drivers with a visual representation of their
environmental impact.

Gas Mileage: You can estimate the fuel cost to your
destination by entering in approximate fuel price per gallon.

Eco Drive Level Guidance: This navigation is equipped
with the Eco Drive Level function that estimates how well you have driven in
an environmentally friendly way based on your Eco Score. When a route is
set, the unit will calculate a Drive Score based on driving efficiency which
factors abrupt stops and accelerations and idle time. Your Eco Score is
calculated from the following:

Speed: indicates the speed detected (this
indication may be different from actual speed of vehicle)

Incline: indicates the degree of slope of the
street that you are currently on

Sudden Start Alert: If the speed of the vehicle exceeds
25.5 mph within 5 seconds from the time it is started, a message appears and
a warning sound beeps.

Note: The fuel mileage calculated is based on a
theoretical value determined from vehicle speed and position information
from the navigation system. The fuel mileage displayed is only a reference
value, and does not guarantee the mileage displayed can be obtained.

Optional Total Traffic Network Tuner: The Pioneer
AVIC-X940BT supports Pioneer's ND-TMC10 Total Traffic Network Tuner (130NDTMC10,
sold separately). With the ND-TMC10 Traffic Tuner, you can check real-time
traffic information transmitted by the Total Traffic Network via FM RDS,
on-screen. When the AVIC-X940BT receives updated traffic information, the
navigation system will overlay the traffic information on the on-screen map and
also display detailed text information when available. When you are traveling
along a route and there is traffic information on your current route, the system
will detect it and ask you if you would like to be re-routed, or suggest another
route automatically.

AVIC Feeds PC Application: AVIC FEEDS creates a link between
your Pioneer AVIC Navigation system and your Windows PC. It allows you to bring
content from your PC and the Internet to the Pioneer navigation head unit. Using
Pioneer's free
AVIC FEEDS PC software, the unit can estimate
the fuel cost of trip routes as well as the vehicle's CO2 emissions through
detailed Drive Reports. Through a proprietary fuel consumption algorithm, AVIC
FEEDS can also log and archive driving data and analyze driving habits to
generate various reports with suggestions to improve fuel efficiency. You can
also create custom Points of Interest (POIs) by using the AVIC Feeds utility
program. Once created, you can store the POI on an external storage device, such
as a microSD card, and upload the information to the unit.

AVIC Feeds for Smartphones: Start planning your route before you even
step in the car with the
freeAVIC FEEDS app for smartphones; available now for iPhone or BlackBerry.
Now you can simply find your destination using the built-in Google Maps
interface, or from a Geo-Tagged photo, and transfer it via Bluetooth for easy,
turn-by-turn directions. Destinations created from a POI search or geotagged
photos are converted as a phone contact to the navigation system via Bluetooth.
Once the phone book is synchronized, the routable contacts are identified by a
unique icon that appears next to the contact in the navigation system. By
selecting that contact, Pioneer's navigation system will calculate a route and
provide turn-by-turn guidance to that location.

Built-in Bluetooth

Bluetooth Technology: The AVIC-X940BT is equipped with
built-in Bluetooth ver. 2.0+EDR (powered by Parrot) allowing to make and receive
phone calls wirelessly through the receiver; as well as stream music wirelessly

Audio Section

24-Bit/96kHz DAC: For superb quality audio playback from
DVDs, CDs, and flash media, the Pioneer AVIC-X940BT is equipped with a
24-bit/96kHz digital-to-analog converter.

MOSFET50 Internal Amplifier: This receiver is equipped with a 50 watts x 4 (peak)
MOSFET amplifier for low distortion, high power output. The amplifier is strong
enough to power small subwoofers to moderate volume levels in compact cars and
pickups. For higher volume levels from subwoofers, an optional amplifier may be
connected to the preamp outputs.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the
AVIC-X940BT are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and
Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These
standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to
model and between manufacturers. The power output specs are as follows:

Sonic Center Control: Sound that is suited for the listening
position can easily be created with this function. You can adjust sound more toward
the listening position left (7) to right (7).

Loudness: The Loudness function compensates for deficiencies in
the low- and high-frequency ranges at low volume. You can set the Loudness to High,
Mid, Low, or Off.

Bass Boost: You can easily
boost the subwoofer bass level by using the Bass Boost function. The Bass Boost
feature allows you increase the subwoofer level from 0 to +6 (12dB).

Advanced Sound Retriever: The Advanced Sound Retriever automatically enhances
compressed audio and restores the original richness of the recording. When the
Advanced Sound
Retriever is on, the high frequency range is compensated to match the frequency
response curve to the original sound. There are two available levels of the
Advanced Sound Retriever effect.

Source
Level Adjustment (SLA): This function lets
you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume
when switching between sources. Settings are based on the volume level of the FM
tuner, which remains unchanged. Each source can be independently adjusted from
-8 dB to +8 dB.

2.2V/6ch Preamp Outputs: The Pioneer AVIC-X940BT is
equipped with three 2.2-volt preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front and
rear speakers are fading with high-pass crossover filters, while the subwoofer
output is non-fading with a low-pass crossover filter.

Front & Rear Preamp Outputs: If you do not want low
frequency sounds to play from the front or rear speaker preamp outputs (or
speaker outputs), you can turn on the 12dB/octave High Pass Filter. The HPF
has a selectable cutoff frequency (50, 63, 80, 100, or 125 Hz). Only
frequencies higher than those in the selected range are output through the
speakers.

Subwoofer Output: The unit has a pair of dedicated
non-fading RCA subwoofer outputs with a low-pass filter, phase adjustment,
and output level. When the subwoofer output is turned on, you can select the
frequency of the 18dB/octave low pass filter (50, 63, 80, 100, or 125 Hz),
select the subwoofer phase (normal/reverse), and the subwoofer gain (+6 to
-24).

Telephone Mute/Attenuator: Sound from your system is muted or
attenuated automatically when a phone signal
is received when you have hardwired your mobile phone system to the mute wire
(yellow/black) of
this unit.

Key Beep: The in-dash navigation-multimedia head unit provides an
audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

AV Connections

Dual AV Inputs: The AVIC-X940BT features two AV inputs.
There is a rear-panel composite video/stereo RCA AV input for connecting a video
component such as a DVD player or game console. The AVIC-X940BT also has a 3.5mm
minijack AV input for connecting a portable audio/video device. The AV 3.5mm
input is provided by the included proprietary USB/minijack cable (this AV input
also doubles as the unit's iPod USB/AV input).

AV Output (with Dual Zone): The AVIC-X940BT features a
rear-panel composite video/stereo RCA audio output that allows you to connect an
external display to the unit. You can playback audio/video content from a Disc,
your iPod/iPhone (not iPhone 5), and the AV 1/2 inputs in the rear zone; or your can simply
have the rear AV output mirror the head unit's selected source. You can
select the unit to output a 16:9, Letter-Box or Pan-Scan aspect ratio to match
your external display's screen size. You cannot play DivX files on the unit's monitor
and a connected external monitor at the same time.

Rear View Camera: The AVIC-X940BT is equipped with a composite
video Rear View Camera input. The unit features a function that automatically switches
to the rear camera image (Rear View Camera input jack) when an optional rear camera
(130NDBC5,
sold separately) is installed. When the transmission is in reverse, the screen
automatically switches to the rear view camera (the violet/white wire in the
AVIC-X940BT's harness must be connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit
for automatic video switching). Automatic video switching takes approximately
1.5 seconds. Pioneer recommends using a camera with a mirror image (reversed)
output. Audio from your music source will continue
playing, while the back-up camera is displayed.

Remote Control

Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features
an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you
keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with
an optional
steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult
Crutchfield's
Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.
